That is, if the neighbours of Gregor Robertson’s recently acquired penthouse suite object to the sound of the big brass instrument.

According to the Land Titles and Survey Authority, “Gregor Angus Robertson, Mayor” is the owner of a 1,764 square foot suite, with a declared $1.68 million value, in a 1976-built tower kitty corner from Alexander Park, a block south of Davie Street.

The mortgage was registered by Robertson on Aug. 27 with Vancity for a condo that was assessed at $1.397 million, but listed for $1.788 million. UPDATE (Jan. 4): The B.C. Assessment Authority’s rolls through July 1, 2015 show the penthouse is now worth $1.677 million.

This is how real estate agent Emmie Tong described the penthouse on her website (which included the two photos):

After the election, Robertson’s relationship with singer Wanting Qu, an Olympic Village resident, came to light. Her name, however, does not appear on the property registration for the Alexander Park penthouse.

The house on Stephens sold for $1.98 million earlier this year, $400,000 more than what the Robertsons paid in 2013.

Chair Jan O’Brien is Mrs. Geoff Meggs, Theodora Lamb is a Hollyhocker, and Bob Williams is the former eminence grise of the B.C. NDP. CEO Tamara Vrooman was a former deputy minister in the Gordon Campbell BC Liberal administration, now an advisor to Vision Vancouver and patronage appointee to the Vancouver International Airport Authority board.

It may not exactly be “news”, but given the amount of ink regarding where Robertson’s opposition was living, its good to know where he Mayor is living. If he had been living in Richmond, that might have cost him some votes. Might have given him a crack at running for Mayor of Richmond, but that just doesn’t have the same, “cache” shall we say.

So no, its nice to know where your local politicians live and who they might be financially beholden to. the vancity credit union, is a credit union and yes it has a lot of lefties, but better that than a large eastern bank.
